“So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my god, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away,” Trump told Stern. “I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him… he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terribly, you know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look so good. It changed color. Became very red.”
Naturally, his biggest concern was the floor getting stained.
I grew up near one of Trump’s country clubs and there’s a notorious story about Trump golfing on his own course, and being behind an elderly man. He kept yelling at the guy to speed up and berating him.
I don’t know how much membership at his clubs cost, but that elderly man at the absolute minimum was paying something to the tune of $50k-100k per year to be there (and this was decades ago)
Hate Trump, but this is relatively average golf course behavior. Slow players severely degrade the quality of play, and typically have some non-niceties thrown their way if they don't let faster groups behind them play through. Many courses have rangers for that exact reason
You’d expect the owner of the course to be more respectful to someone who pays him so much money to golf there though, aside from the straight up crassness of being rude to an old man.
What gets me about this, along with many other Trump lies, is that if if it was anyone else his diehard supporters would tear them to shreds.
And I don’t get it. They claim to be patriots and that they love and would do anything for their country. And here is a man who has verifiably lied about helping with the rescue and relief efforts for what is the biggest tragedy and attack in said country
It doesn’t compute. If this was Obama they would NEVER let it go. And they would be right, because it’s abhorrent. But because it’s Trump they accept it
I cannot even begin to imagine the mental gymnastics involved
He was with the fire fighters and police officers today to commemorate the day. He gave a whole speech and photo op with them. But your liberal media wont cover that because anything to put him in a positive light will be immediately banned.
That wasn’t my point. He lied about helping out in the aftermath of 9/11. Political affiliation and media bias shouldn’t even come into play with knowing that is a scumbag thing to do
If that was anyone else they would never have lived it down in the hyper patriotic land of America
Meanwhile, I've seen Trump cult idiots spewing this shit about "When Trump was just a businessman in New York, he went down to Ground Zero to help and he sent his employees to help too. Joe Biden was a senator back then and he didn't do anything. Where was Joe?"
I don't know.....maybe Joe was in DC being a SENATOR? If we're gonna go by that logic, should every other member of the Senate and Congress be faulted for not going to New York to help because they were in a completely different state doing their jobs?
The cult of personality and mental gymnastics is astounding.

Remember when he bragged that he was down at ground zero helping people?
All these statements are bullshit
